VirtualBox image mounter

Post by BruceSteers »

I just started this project that lets me mount any of my virtualbox VMs.

It requires VirtualBox is installed and you have some VM's added to it.

It uses the vboximg-mount command to list the VM's and mount the VDI's

The VDI's and their internal disk files are mounted in /tmp/gambas.100/VM/ so any mounts are cleared after reboot.

It's a bit WIP at the moment but doing enough to now share to you all.

just double click a VM or press Mount to mount the disks (file browser automatically opens up the largest disk that's hopefully the system)

I may add more stuff like detecting VM gambas versions , or possibly some kind of scripting so you could make your own functions to perform on the VMs

If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.
